The eBook Training Series is a step-by-step workbook curriculum for learning Wing Chun Kuen. Every workbook includes narrated full and slow-motion videos, complete front and side-facing photos of the form, 3-step training drills, and in-depth discussions of the concepts and theories.
Start your training off right with the foundation of Wing Chun: the Siu-Nim-Tau. Creating a solid base of training is what the Siu-Nim-Tau is all about, which includes learning correct posture, upper body mechanics, creating a strong and stable lower body, and learning all about simultaneous attack and defense.
Because Chi-dan-sau (Single-arm Sticking-hand) is learned during the final section of Siu-Nim-Tau, you might also want to check out Volume 3: Chi-sau if you are intent on learning the actual training curriculum in order as taught by the AWCA.
 Volume 1: Siu-Nim-Tau
When your Siu-Nim-Tau training is completed, it is time for the intermediate curriculum: the Chum-Kiu. Taking your Siu-Nim-Tau training even further, the Chum-Kiu will teach you all about multiple opponents, kicking, the use of elbow attacks, defense against knee attacks, and how to get the most power from tighter angling.
Like your Siu-Nim-Tau training, the Chum-Kiu also includes a Chi-sau training phase, which is Chi-sheung-sau (Double-arm Sticking-hands). This complete curriculum is covered in Volume 3: Chi-sau.
Volume 2: Chum-Kiu
Covering Chi-dan-sau (Single-arm Sticking-hand), Chi-sheung-sau (Double-arm Sticking-hands), Luk-sau (Rolling-arms with forward pressure), and the seven primary Chi-sau sections, Volume 3 also covers a great deal about Lap-sau (Deflecting-arm) and Chi-gerk (Sticking-legs).
Volume 3: Chi-sau
The advanced stage of empty-hand fighting is the third and final curriculum: the Biu-Tze. Focusing on penetrating power and delivering phenomenal strikes to a host of skilled attackers, the Biu-Tze is one of the most advanced fighting curriculums you will ever encounter.
Included with Volume 4 is also the Biu-Tze Chi-sau training curriculum, reserved only for those that have completed the Biu-Tze and are preparing for wooden dummy training.
Volume 4: Biu-Tze
After all empty-hand curriculums have been completed, the Wing Chun practitioners progresses even further by learning the famed Muk-Yan-Chong, or "Wooden Dummy." With eight sections to learn, you will spend a great deal of time honing and refining your skills, as well as learning a host of new concepts and applications.
At the completion of the wooden dummy, you will then experience the wooden dummy's version of Chi-sau. This Chi-sau training has been shown to afford a great advantage over those that have not experienced it, and with Volume 5 you will learn all about it.
Volume 5: Muk-Yan-Chong
The first formal weapon of Wing Chun is called the Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun. Meaning "Six-and-a-Half Point long pole," this curriculum is a journey through the proficient use of long-range weapons.
At the end of your long pole curriculum, you will also experience Chi-kwun, or the long pole's curriculum for incorporating Chi-sau into the training. Having a sense of what the opponent's weapon is doing at the moment contact is made will give you an immediate insight as to how best to counter it.
Volume 6: Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun
The last formal stage of Wing Chun training is the Bart-Cham-Dao. Meaning "Eight-Cutting Broadswords," this curriculum teaches the Wing Chun practitioner about medium and short-range weaponry. This curriculum includes the complete form, all drills and applications, and culminates with learning Chi-dao, or the knives' version of utilizing Chi-sau.
